What is best monitor to buy? I know the edge cs2 is a good bit cheaper than the cts3. What is everyone's recommendation on them?
Monitor options?

depends on what you want. the banks isnt all that bad, nice and compact with a ton of features but the larger screen of the cts is nice too.
The Edge CS3/CTS3 line still seems pretty buggy in my experience. The CS2/CTS2 devices IMO were light years more dependable.
I use the Banks iDash 1.8 units over just about anything else if it’s an application where datalogging is a requirement as they seem to do a much better job at logging than any other of the monitors.

I still run a triple pod with boost and egt and an original cts on a gauge pod mount.
I have a 4 gauge pod above my rearview mirror that holds boost, egt, oil temp, and lift pump pressure. I use the Edge to watch coolant temp, oil pressure, desired and actual rail pressure, and a bunch of other stuff I don't really care too much about but display because I have the ability to show it. The other reason I like having the Edge over just gauges is the ability to check and clear DTCs while I'm driving. You can't do that at all with just gauges, and Banks doesn't allow you to clear DTCs unless you come to a complete stop.
I’d say the biggest thing I dislike about them is that they stayed plugged in to the DLC (obd2) port. I’ve seen so many strange issues come in at the dealer where it’s caused by the mileage trackers, foldout steps, etc. Of course more so on vehicles with a HS GMLAN electrical architecture
I run a triple pod with lift pump pressure, oil temp and boost. Also have an Edge CTS for everything else. When the edge gives out ill put a Banks idash in my pillar where the boost gauge is.
